1. There are many involved in these protests who are genuine

But I'm convinced the big picture is manipulation of the Gaza events to harm Joe Biden's electoral prospects this November. Which of course is for a bigger goal of controlling the U.S. (probably by Pootie).

That doesn't mean I think what is happening in Gaza is in any way okay. But it is a complex foreign relations issue that is being over-simplified and manipulated for a purpose that doesn't give a sh*t about children suffering anywhere, let alone specifically in Gaza.

(what about Ukraine? Sudan? myriad other situations around the globe? Right here in the U.S.?)

I also find suspicious the timing of Oct. 7th and the escalation it has wrought.

To the big players, the average person at that festival, and the children suffering in Gaza and everywhere else, are nothing more than pawns on a chessboard. Of no more significance to the would-be puppeteers than the dirt they knocked off their shoes this morning.

Who should we really be protesting and working against?
